A form field wrapping a multi-line text editing area.

Handles text wrapping, multiple lines (using Enter key insertions), vertical scroll offsets when cursor extends past the height constraint, and undo/redo history stacks.

Example

TextAreaFormField(
  label: 'Description',
  description: 'Enter your bio',
  fieldHeight: 5,
)
